"Stuart Emmons is the most arts, design and culturally adept person to run for a city council seat in Portland since Vera. ... He went to art school, knows what kind of space artists need + he's built affordable housing and is not bound by class, social cliques or age. ..."

JEFF JAHN, PORT: PORTLANDART.NET

I am from the arts and design community, and I will help increase awareness of the arts and culture and help improve the access to the arts in our schools.

Arts and Culture are a huge part of Portland’s livability and quality of life. They are also a great way to express our cultural heritage and our wonderful diverse cultures in Portland.
